A link which hnnnd modern Enrnne

A link which bound modern Europe to
the middle ages has Just been severed st
Client by the dissolution of the Ancient
Guild of Crossbowmen in that city. 1t
has existed since the eleventh century
but with ever diminishing utility, since
crossbows and long boys are no longer in
fashion; and the society came lately to
the conclusion that it had ceased to have
any raison d'etre. Its massive plate has
all been sold, including q superb chased
silver cup, presented to the association
by the Archduke Albert and his Arch
duchess Isabella, which has now become
the property of Baron Rothschild, st the
price of rs, 900 francs.

MacarOni,

Not the traditional macaroni associ-
ated in our minds with Yankee Doodle,
but the Wand, which is to the Italian
what baked beans is to the Bostonian
and oysters to "the East'n sho'man,o
or more. Give the Italian peasant his
macaroni, garlic and oil, black bread
and sour wine-he asks nothing more
in the way of living. Though not used
so exclusively as an article of diet by
the higher classes, they are equally de-
voted to 1t; and its preparation for the
table in various ways is made study.
1t is said some of the noted singers
who have visited our country brought
their coo ks with them, with an especial
view to having macaroni prepared to
their taste. AT $4,000 a night, they
could afford it. AT one time its manu-
facture was peculiar to Italy, the wheat
of that country being considered more
applicable for the purpose. Now, how
ever, it is extensively manufactured in
the south of France, and has become
an important industry in our own coun-
try. As first made, the American was
much inferior to the Italian macaroni !;
but now, owing to the improved pro-
cess in grinding wheat and increased
facilities in its manufacture, done up
in similar packages, with the labels
alike in Italian, it is difficult to dis
tinguish between them. The best
macaroni will swell considerably and
keep its form when boiled; if it goes
to pieces, it is made from inferior
wheat. Hard wheat, containing the
greatest amount of gluten, is used.
When ground the bran is removed
and the meal worked up into stiff
paste with water After the starch is
extracted-by forcing water through
it-a glutinous dough is left, which is
forced by machinery through gauges
in ppe-like form, cut in convenient
lengths and dried. The more fibrous
vermiceli is the same, with the addi-
ton of eggs, professedly, but in reality
colored with tumeric or saffron. For
pdStes-which, like the German neudels,
are much used in soup-the same dough
is rolled very thin and cut in various
fanciful shapes-letters, stars, rings,
etc. Macaroni is healthful and nutri-
tious, and is served in various styles.

Curious Land Tenures.

The study of land tenures is one
which sorely taxes the thinking powers,
especially when the study is directed to
the English system of landed property
as elucidated in Blackstone and other
old authorities. Yet even the per-
picking tangle about feoffments, free
socage, livery of seisin and so on, is oc-
casionally enlivened by some interest
ing passages. Common lands in many
parts of England have been held, and
are held still, in some instances by the
fulillment of curious pledges. The
sheriffs of the county of Norfolk held
at one time, and we presume they
still hold, thirty acres of land, forming
part of certain manor in the county,
on consideration of their presenting to
the king, whenever he should be in
England at the time of the first catch
of herrings, every season four-and-
twenty of the best fish. Yarmouth
had charter conferred upon it on con-
dition that it should send to these same
sheriffs annually hundred behring's
baked in flour and twenty pasties, the
sherffs having to pass them on to the
lord of the manor of East Charlton.
Alnwick freemen to this day, it is
stated, enjoy the right of pasturing
their cattle upon certain common
lands on very whimsical conditions in
deed. 1t is said that King John was
once travelling by night in the town on
horseback, and, owing to the deplor-
able state of the roads, his ajesty

Much like grandfather's self. in fact.
Yet its wheezy voice has cheerful sound.
And the child, as she listens in wonder bound,
To mystic tales of departed time,

Years whose every setting sun
Was marked by labor faithfully done.

And clumsier help when the works went i'll;
Yet serving their time as hest they can

Many a fall has the old watch flushed,
Many blow has the old man crushed,
Meddled with, tinkered and sorely tried,
At last rejected and thrown aside
For modern rivals, all science and gold
Useless and crippled, despised and old,
Under a cloud and under a ban
This is a story of a watch and man.
But there's a reverse to the picture sad;
Human hearts they can still make glad

Can bring smile to the fair child's face.

with moral can cheer both me and you,
Mark our time as well as we can -
This is the lesson of watch and man.

The Jumbo" of Diamonds.

Great crowds collect every evening at
Messrs. Emanuel Schwartz 4 Co.'s,
Ely place, Holborn, to see the process
of polishing what is deemed the cham
pion diamond of the world. Within
sight, through the large plate-glass
window, the artist sits at his bench be-
fore the little upright wooden stand on
which, fastened with the composition
used for the purpose, stands the half
polished diamond, one part described
as being rough and dull as rock-salt,
the other flaming with internal fire.
The artist works on the stone with
curious-looking polisher, an instrument
described as resembling thickish bit
of ordinary fre-wood, with one end cut
wedge-wise and covered with compost
ton, and keeps scrubbing and scrubbing
with a gentle tirmness. 1t is stated
that the diamond, which is from South
Africa, will, when fully cut, number
third more carats than the Koh-i-noor,
which will have to hide its diminished
head in presence of luminary bigger
than a billiard ball. To fair New
Workers who dearly love and long for
the diamond it may be interesting to
know that the jewel is valued at half a
million. The very chips that are cut
off in the polishing fetch small for
tunes. The king of Portugal gave
$40, 900 for one of them. It's proposed
to purchase this magnificent gem, by a
national subscription, as a jubilee pres
ent to the queen, to which the admir-
ers of England and the English will be
permitted to subscribe. London Letter.

Catarrh to CONSUMPTION.

Catarrh in its destructive force stands next to and
undoubtedly leads on to consumption. 1t is there
fore singular that those afflicted with this fearful
disease should not make 1t the object of their lives
to rid themselves of it. Deceptive remedies con
cocted by ignorant pretenders to medical knowledge
have weakened the confidence of the great majority
of sufferers in all advertised remedies. They be
come resigned to life of misery rather than tor
ture themselves with doubtful palliatives.
But this will never do. Catarrh must be met at
every stage and combated with all our might. In
many cases the disease has assumed dangerous
symptoms. The bones and cartilage of the nose,
the organs of hearing, of seeing and of tasting so
affected as to be useless, the uvua elongated the
throat so innamed and rritated to produce con
slant and distressing cough.
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE meets every phase of
Catarrh, from a simple head cold to the most loath-
some and destructive stages. 1t is local and const
tutonal. Instant in relieving permanent in curing

Badness Increasing.

Badness is rapidly increasing through
out civilization, particularly in this
country, owing, no doubt, to the COM
plicated and exciting modes of life
which augment the tendency of blood
to the head The same causes that
generate insanity, apoplexy, paralysis
every form of premature decay and
sudden death-generate early badness.
Women are not nearly so apt to lose
their hair as men, and when they do
they have ways of hiding the loss that
we have not. A positively bald woman,
however, is unusual, especially before
she is forty. But men are frequently
bald nowadays at thirty; sometimes at
twenty-five. Badness, which ought
not to come until fifty-fve or later, has
ceased to be regarded as sign of age.
In company of dozen men whose
ages will not average forty two or
three will generally be found more or
less bald. As rule, the bigger and
more enterprising the city, the larger
the number of bald men. New York
and Chicago have, it is said, more bald
men in proportion to inhabitants than
any two cities of the Union, and Phila-
! delphia and Boston come next. Ameri-
cans are prone to think that they alto
gether exceed other nations in capillary
decay; but when they 60 abroad they
discover that the English, French, and
especially the Germans, are very formid-
able rivals. London, Paris and Ber-
lin assemblies look, so far as the tops
of their heads are concerned, very
much like New York assemblies. The
Germans are about as bald prematurely
as we, having greatly increased that
tendency the last twenty years. All
things considered, the opinion some
times expressed that the coming man
will be a hairless animal is entirely
reasonable and probable .=Selected.

His Biography.

Born at noon-and cried at that,
Sweet at one and growing fat,
Dear at two and tries to walk
Cute at three and learns to talk.
Pants at four and bound to rule,
Smart at five and sent to school,
Bright at six, but fond Of play,
Boots at seven Hooray Hoorayl
Eight and nine go quickly by,
Study lags, but fun-oh, my
Stout at ten and getting bold,
Thinks he's growing rather old,
Playing jokes and tricks at eleven
Lads are lads and will get even
Fights at twelve and full of noise,
Domineers the little boys;
But at thirteen childhood's DER,
Youth begins, and studies more.
Fourteen, aggravating change
Voice takes on frightful range
Cannot sing and scarcely speak,
For It's either growl or squeak.
Loves at fifteen-at first sight;
Miserable every night.
Sixteen, seventeen, after all
Nothing but boy grown tall;
Clumsy, awkward every day,
Always in somebody's way.
Standardization and reserved,
But reaps honors well deserved,
When triumphant he may stand
with the parchment in his hand,
And the valedictory
Brings him fame aud victory.
Twenty finds him all at sea,
Neither man nor boy Is he,
But at last the day is won
He's man, and twenty-onel
Then the years go rs before;
Twenty. five he loves once more,
Loves in earnest and is wed,
Feels indeed his youth is fed.
Thirty-there's little man
Who begins where he began.
Strong at forty, labors hard,
Reaps at fifty his reward.
Grave at sixty and sedate.
Somewhat prone to mediate;
Seventy brings the good old age,
White-haired, venerable sage.
After that, why, who can say?
Died at-almost any day.
